The invention is a vertical cable management system having a plurality of fanning guides and a plurality of cable management rings mounted to a frame. It is a part of an improved cable management system having an open frame, such as a telecommunications network rack, a plurality of enclosures for containing fiber optic equipment secured to the frame, at least one cable trough assembly defining a primary horizontal cable pathway, cable fanning guides secured to at least some of the enclosures, and a plurality of cable rings defining a primary vertical cable pathway to collect and route cable emerging from the fanning guides. Additionally, the invention may include a plurality of transverse cable troughs defining a plurality of secondary horizontal cable pathways, a second plurality of cable rings defining secondary vertical cable pathways to collect and route cable to the transverse cable troughs and a slack cable management system having a plurality of spools secured along the frame to receive slack cable.

A tool (20) for inserting wires or cables (22) in a flexible harness wrap (24) is disclosed. The tool includes a first member (26) and a second member (28) connected to the first member (26). The first member (26) has an extension member (36) connected thereto, and a first nose portion (38) extending at an oblique angle from the first bottom end (32). The second member (28) has a receiving member (48) connected thereto, and a second nose portion (52) extending at an oblique angle from the second bottom end (44). The first and second members (26,28) are moveable from a first, closed portion to a second, open position. The open position is at least 50 degrees from the closed position. A method of inserting wires or cables in a flexible harness wrap is also disclosed.

A cable tie (20) having stepped down strap body teeth (34, 36, 38, 40, 42, 44) is disclosed. The cable tie (20) includes a strap body (26) having a first end (28) and a second end (30) opposite the first end (28), a locking head (24) secured to the first end (28) of the strap body (26), and a plurality (52, 54, 56) of walls on the locking head (24) forming a strap body accepting channel (48). The strap body (26) includes a first group of teeth having a first predetermined depth (B) and a second group of teeth having a second predetermined depth (A). The first depth (B) is greater than the second depth (A). A method of making a cable tie is also disclosed.
摘要:
A termination clamp for the optical fiber of a fiber optic cable is disclosed. The clamp includes a crimpable housing, adapted to receive first and second clamp members. The fiber extends between the clamp members and crimping of the housing secures the fiber within the termination. One clamp member includes an exit chamfer to avoid bending of the fiber during crimping.

A routing clamp (10) for routing a bundle of elongated members (12) along a mounting surface (14) having an aperture therein includes a bundling portion (20) for bundling the elongated members (12) the bundling portion (20) having a first end and a second end, a first receiving portion (24) extending from the first end of the bundling portion, the first receiving portion including a first receiving aperture (25) therethrough, a second receiving portion (26) extending from the second end of the bundling portion (20), the second receiving portion (26) including a second receiving aperture (27) therethrough alignable with the first receiving aperture (25), a rivet portion (28) extending generally perpendicularly from the second receiving portion (26), the rivet portion (28) being configured to be received in the mounting surface aperture and retained therein such that the second receiving portion (26) is generally flush with the mounting surface, the rivet portion (28) including a rivet aperture (29) aligned with the second receiving aperture (27), and a retention portion (32) including a resiliently deformable resistance member (42), the clamp (10) being mountable along the mounting surface (14) by inserting the retention portion (32) through the alignable first, second and rivet apertures (25,27,29), the deformable resistance member (42) compressibly deforming as it travels through the apertures before resiliently expanding upon exiting the rivet aperture (29).
摘要:
A raceway section forms part of a raceway system for routing, protecting and enclosing cabling, and includes a base member, which may be U-shaped, and two split covers independently removably attached to side walls of the base member, such as by a hook and buckle attachment system. The base member defines a cable receiving channel and a longitudinally extending top opening. The split covers each have a laterally extending cover portion, an outside edge portion, and an inside edge portion, wherein the split covers each cover a portion of the longitudinally extending top opening such that a substantial amount of the top opening is covered. The inside edge portions are juxtaposed to form a longitudinally extending slot sufficiently wide to allow the removal or insertion of a cable through the slot without removal of the split covers. For insertion or removal of larger cables or bundles, one or both split covers can be removed.
摘要:
A fitting (10) for routing cables between first and second (60) ducts in a raceway system, the first duct having a first cross-sectional dimension and the second duct having a second and different cross-sectional dimension from the first cross-sectional dimension, the fitting (10) including a first end for attaching to the first duct, a second end for attaching to the second duct, and an insertable reducer (20) disposable generally between the first and second ends of the fitting, the reducer for adapting the fitting to transition between the first and second cross-sectional dimensions, the reducer including a barb (40) for bitingly engaging at least one of the ducts and retaining the at least one duct to said fitting.
摘要:
A cable tie (100) is provided having a lowered cable strap insertion force. The cable tie (100) includes a strap (104) with a first end and a free end, a locking head (102) having a strap accepting channel (122), and a metal locking device (136) mounted within a metal locking device receiving cavity (180) of the head (102) having a fixed end (134) mounted to a support of the locking head (102) and a free end (138) positioned within the strap accepting channel. The locking head (102) includes a recessed pocket (132) provided between the fixed end (134) and the strap accepting channel (122) that defines a reduced thickness support membrane (144) that allows controlled deflection of the fixed end (134) to achieve lower strap insertion force. By making the recessed pocket (132) open into the metal locking device receiving cavity (180), molding and aesthetic advantages can be achieved.
